I have a long closet with two lights. The closet has two doors. I want to use door jamb switches to turn both lights on when I open either one door or both doors at once. Can this be done? Wiring diagram?
 
Wire both bulbs in parallel. Wire both switches in parallel. Wire each of those in series just as you would simply wire one bulb in series with one switch if you were doing a simple circuit for one door.
Hope that makes sense without a schematic!

Thank you - just installed the switches as you described and they work perfectly, just like I wanted. Much obliged.

I did consider this but ended up going with this one. I wired it inline with the lives and works great.
